Looking great, the KEF way

The British manufacturer KEF has not been wasting time after being awarded the "Speakers of the Year 2006"; actually we're dealing with the new home theater series, the 3000. Most of you think that KEF is one
brand you'll never get to own and enjoy in your home... those who weep for KEF gear can rejoice as the new 3000 series home theater sells for the affordable sum of $1,500. We just had to mention this, so you keep reading...

The KEF 3000 series home theater is one of the niftiest 5.1 packs you can buy for the price. KEF's experience goes back for more than 50 years and this is one thing that you'll definitely notice in the KHT3005, both visually and more important, acoustically.

The satellites of the KHT3005 are 2-way bass reflex boxes delivering from 75Hz to a staggering 55kHz with 88dB sensitivity and max 100W, while the center channel sports 90dB and goes 10Hz deeper. The massive subwoofer sports two 10" bass drivers (one for passive compression) ranging from 30 to 250hz and being capable of blasting 110dB Sound Pressure Level.

The KHT3005 comes in two most elegant and simple finishes, silver and black, both in high-gloss. The dominant word for the KEF 3000 series home theater is "curve": there are few un-curved surfaces in any of the KHT3005's component loudspeakers and this helps a lot in breaking the standing waves that can seriously affect the sonic response, especially at high volume levels.

For those who have long time dreamt of waking up to see KEF gear in their room, the time has come, at affordable prices and without any trace of compromise made as far as both craftsmanship and acoustic quality are concerned.
